The Wave is a firm building artificial wave pools for surfing in England. The Wave: Bristol was opened in 2019, on the northern outskirts of Bristol, and a second site, The Wave: London , is planned.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). The project was named "The Wave: Bristol" in 2012, initially focussing on a site next to the Portway in Bristol, but rejected it as not big enough.[1] A 70-acre (28 ha) site on farmland at Easter Compton was selected in 2013, with the technology generating the artificial waves to be supplied by the Spanish company Wavegarden.[2]
In August 2017, South Gloucestershire Council approved the 0.69p scheme, which is designed for sustainability.[3] Besides the wave pool, the scheme will include a natural swimming lake, barefoot trails, foraging areas and gardens of various types - activity, sensory, healing, culinary and herb gardens.[4] Other proposed features include a clubhouse, a surf shop, a ropes and tunnels course and a campsite. The planned dimensions of the pool are 300 metres (980 ft) long by 100 metres (330 ft) wide and 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) deep.[5] The firm plans to host a High-Performance Surfing Centre and surf contests.[6]
In June 2015 it was decided to use the American company Wave Loch's wave generation technology instead of Wavegarden's, requiring the opening date to be put back to 2016.[7] However, as of May 2017, they reverted to the Wavegarden's technology.
In April 2016, The Wave announced that South Gloucestershire Council had approved the revised designs.[8] With the switch back to Wavegarden, the planning permission was resubmitted, and approved in late August 2017.
In October 2019 construction was completed.[9]
